EcoCeres announced in Hong Kong that it has signed a multi-year agreement to supply sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to British Airways. This strategic partnership is expected to reduce approximately 400,000 tonnes of lifecycle carbon emissions—equivalent to the emissions from around 240,000 economy-class passengers flying round-trip between London and New York.
As part of its sustainability roadmap, British Airways has committed to powering at least 10% of its flights with SAF by 2030, aligning with the UK government’s mandate on SAF usage. Under the agreement, EcoCeres will supply SAF produced entirely from waste-based biomass feedstocks, such as used cooking oil (UCO). Compared to conventional jet fuel, this SAF can reduce lifecycle carbon emissions by up to 80%.
